This property has a great location convenient to town and country. I loved the Victorian cottage style decor. I was slightly confused about access to trails; thinking it would be more direct (from a walking perspective).
Nice surroundings and cute cozy cottagy quality to the little apartment above the owners apartment. TV,internet, copier comfortable bed, Old fashion lamp lighting added to the country feel. Easy access to New Paltz and Shawgunck MTS.
The place was great! The hostess was so sweet and on a scale of 1 to 10 the stay was an awesome 10

We went in August, the hottest month of the year and had limited usage of ac. Apt on 2nd fl and took over an hour to cool off. Owner offered to turn on ac prior to daughter coming in but that meant she helped herself to rental which we weren't comfortable with. Wish it had been explained from the beginning as daughter suffers from migraines & would've stayed at hotel w/ ac on all time esp in August. She does have a beautiful friendly dog.

This was billed as a cozy cottage on 8 acres. The photo showed a view of the lawn from the patio, which suggested it was on the first floor. It turned out to be an apartment on the second floor of the owner’s house. We are in our late 70s and early 80s. Climbing stairs is neither safe or desirable. It says it sleeps 4. One bedroom with a double bed and a futon in the living room. There were no sheets or blankets for the futon. I froze under a couch throw the first night. And the futon was only suitable for one person. I got bedding when I asked the next day. Also, had to ask for toilet paper as there was no spare roll. The outside steps were uneven and there was no handrail. Very disappointing.
